its not jealousy... jealousy is when you're rolling round on a boiling hot day, with the hood down

when you drive around with the hood down on a cold day, wearing a coat, you look like a f*cking complete tit, and the worst thing is, these people, obviously you guys, think you actually look cool!!!

you must be thinking, "Yeah, everyone's looking at me, i'm so cool, i can drive around with my hood down, coz i have a convertible!!!, YEAH!!!!"

when actually, everyone is thinking, " 8O what a CNUT...."

:wink:

Ya see, the thing you've got wrong is that I know I'm cool, everyone who knows me knows I'm cool, & I don't give a toss what people who don't know me think. :wink:

On a sunny winters day (cold as you like) you won't find me inside in front of the telly - I'll be out on a bike / boat etc making the most of it. The same applies for driving with the roof down; don't knock it 'til you've tried it...

Oh, & like I said: heated seats & wind deflectors = no need for coat. Sheer uber-coolness = definate need for scarf, but only if it's got bits of wire in it. :P

I just have to put you right here; when I go out, in a car, bike, or even walking, it NEVER crosses my mind as to how I appear to ANYONE else, ever.

In a soft-top, my mind is thinking either
1) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
or
2) fast into the corner...wait..wait... POWER...oversteer; opposite-lock...YES!

Not only are other road-users and people of no interest to me, I also think you should all be banned from driving on my roads.
